I heard a weather forecaster the other day, which stated, “Temperatures will be seasonal for this time of year”. What’s wrong with that statement? It's redundant, that's what. "Temperatures will be seasonal" would have sufficed.
As Captain Obvious, head of the Department of Redundancy Department would say, "redundancies are menacing and yet they are everyone and as within all languages there is that redundant many of which we all can come to find everywhere."
Well boo to that as I know at times I as well can be excessive and go on and write more and repetitive can be at times something which unless I take my time I know that my grammar is not perfect. Perhaps he had something here.
It appears that there was a guy named Lord Alvin Redund in the 18th century who wrote a letter that was excessively repetitive to the point of being repetitively excessive. The wording was repetitive, excessive and superfluous. Now this I can relate with when I write, as there are times of which I am ridiculously redundant. I am sure that Lord Redund could very well shake his head with some of the redundant manners of that of my own redundancy.
Since then, afterwards, and subsequently, things, items, speech, text, stuff and things that are superfluous, repetitive or excessive are called, named, or otherwise noted as Redundant. Sir Isaac Newton's Redundancy Law of Redundancy postulated that any quantity of redundancy is accompanied by an equal and proportionate amount of redundancy. It is said Albert Einstein in 1944 formulated his Theory of Redundancy.
Within his theory of that which he discussed the main factors of which contributing
factors that contributed to the occurrence and existence of redundancy. Now this I never knew yet at times can be my own achilles heel.
I did not know of Lord Redund! How neat to know that. And, it describes much of what I write, I know.
